Lewis ''Arslon, Jodugar va Kiyimlar shkafi'' kitobini yozganidan juda mamnun bo‘ldi va tez orada ''[[Shaxzoda Caspian]]'' asarini yozishni boshladi. U ushbu sikvelni bir yildan kam vaqt ichida, 1949-yilning oxiriga qadar bitirib bo‘ldi. ''Arslon, Jodugar va Kiyimlar shkafi'' 1950-yilgacha keng ommaga taqdim etilmagan edi.<ref name=" Veith11-12 ">{{cite book | last = Veith | first = Gene | title = The Soul of Prince Caspian: Exploring Spiritual Truth in the Land of Narnia | pages = 11–12 | publisher = David C.
